reformation_n be_v always_o reward_v with_o public_a happiness_n and_o prosperity_n so_o that_o any_o one_o that_o can_v make_v a_o right_a estimate_n of_o the_o moral_n of_o that_o nation_n and_o how_o it_o stand_v as_o to_o virtue_n and_o vice_n may_v constant_o make_v a_o judgement_n likewise_o how_o it_o will_v fare_v with_o they_o as_o to_o their_o outward_a temporal_a affair_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o general_o speak_v there_o be_v little_a force_n in_o those_o argument_n that_o be_v draw_v from_o example_n but_o in_o the_o case_n i_o be_o now_o upon_o i_o think_v there_o be_v a_o great_a weight_n in_o they_o for_o though_o we_o can_v argue_v from_o god_n deal_v with_o one_o person_n that_o he_o will_v just_o deal_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n with_o another_o yet_o as_o to_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n the_o case_n be_v otherwise_o as_o i_o before_o say_v for_o god_n dispensation_n and_o providence_n to_o they_o seem_v all_o to_o proceed_v upon_o one_o immutable_a foundation_n which_o will_v be_v the_o same_o in_o all_o age_n and_o country_n namely_o the_o expression_n and_o vindication_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o goodness_n in_o this_o world_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v always_o be_v of_o this_o mind_n that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o the_o history_n of_o god_n deal_n with_o his_o own_o people_n the_o jew_n and_o that_o of_o other_o nation_n but_o this_o that_o in_o other_o nation_n the_o public_a event_n that_o happen_v whether_o good_a or_o bad_a though_o they_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o yet_o they_o pass_v without_o any_o reflection_n on_o the_o true_a cause_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v the_o historian_n do_v indeed_o often_o lay_v their_o finger_n right_o upon_o the_o immediate_a visible_a outward_a occasion_n or_o mean_n or_o instrument_n from_o whence_o their_o good_a or_o bad_a fortune_n be_v derive_v to_o they_o but_o they_o search_v no_o further_o they_o consider_v only_o second_o cause_n and_o take_v no_o great_a notice_n of_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n god_n almighty_n and_o his_o influence_a (null)_o affair_n they_o leave_v god_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n out_o of_o their_o hypothesis_n and_o out_o of_o their_o history_n but_o now_o that_o the_o world_n may_v be_v awaken_v to_o a_o more_o hearty_a belief_n and_o sense_n of_o his_o providence_n god_n take_v care_n to_o single_a out_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o in_o they_o to_o give_v we_o a_o true_a pattern_n or_o platform_n of_o his_o deal_n with_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o for_o that_o purpose_n he_o order_v that_o all_o the_o great_a stroke_n both_o of_o their_o departure_n from_o god_n and_o of_o their_o return_n to_o he_o and_o likewise_o both_o of_o the_o good_a or_o bad_a fortune_n that_o do_v at_o any_o time_n befall_v that_o nation_n shall_v be_v faithful_o register_v and_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o they_o faithful_o assign_v that_o all_o mankind_n may_v from_o thence_o receive_v instruction_n how_o they_o ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o god_n and_o what_o according_a to_o their_o different_a behaviour_n they_o be_v to_o expect_v to_o conclude_v this_o point_n by_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o state_n and_o condition_n and_o fortune_n of_o all_o kingdom_n and_o nation_n be_v the_o very_a same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n as_o it_o be_v represent_v by_o achior_n the_o ammonite_n in_o the_o advice_n he_o give_v to_o holofernes_n when_o he_o come_v up_o with_o a_o army_n against_o that_o people_n you_o have_v the_o passage_n in_o judith_n 5.17_o whilst_o say_v he_o these_o people_n sin_v not_o before_o their_o god_n they_o prosper_v because_o the_o god_n that_o hate_v iniquity_n be_v with_o they_o but_o when_o they_o depart_v from_o the_o way_n that_o he_o appoint_v they_o they_o be_v destroy_v in_o many_o battle_n after_o a_o wonderful_a sort_n and_o be_v lead_v captive_n into_o a_o land_n that_o be_v not_o they_o but_o now_o they_o be_v turn_v to_o their_o god_n and_o be_v come_v up_o from_o their_o captivity_n and_o have_v again_o possess_v jerusalem_n now_o therefore_o my_o lord_n and_o governor_n if_o there_o be_v any_o fault_n in_o this_o people_n so_o that_o they_o have_v sin_v against_o their_o god_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o this_o shall_v be_v their_o ruin_n and_o let_v we_o go_v up_o that_o we_o may_v overcome_v they_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n in_o this_o people_n let_v my_o lord_n pass_v by_o lest_o their_o lord_n defend_v they_o and_o their_o god_n be_v for_o they_o and_o we_o become_v a_o reproach_n before_o all_o the_o world_n thus_o it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v always_o with_o all_o state_n and_o nation_n if_o they_o notorious_o sin_n against_o their_o god_n this_o will_v be_v their_o ruin_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o find_v iniquity_n in_o they_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a for_o any_o enemy_n to_o set_v upon_o they_o for_o god_n will_v be_v for_o they_o and_o their_o lord_n will_v defend_v they_o if_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v any_o one_o about_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n i_o may_v bring_v other_o proof_n for_o it_o i_o may_v for_o instance_n in_o the_o three_o place_n insist_v upon_o this_o that_o virtue_n and_o piety_n do_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n tend_v to_o promote_v the_o welfare_n and_o happiness_n of_o peoples_n and_o nation_n as_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n all_o vice_n and_o irreligion_n be_v destructive_a of_o (null)_o society_n and_o this_o without_o respect_n to_o any_o appointment_n or_o decree_n of_o god_n that_o thing_n shall_v be_v manage_v in_o this_o way_n but_o pure_o in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v obvious_a that_o virtue_n and_o religion_n lie_v the_o sure_a foundation_n for_o all_o those_o blessing_n wherein_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o nation_n do_v consist_v that_o be_v possible_a both_o by_o make_v magistrate_n to_o govern_v well_o and_o by_o render_v the_o people_n easy_a to_o be_v govern_v and_o likewise_o by_o furnish_v both_o the_o governor_n and_o the_o govern_v with_o such_o kind_n of_o principle_n and_o habit_n as_o can_v fail_v with_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o produce_v both_o peace_n and_o plenty_n and_o victory_n and_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o prosperity_n in_o a_o nation_n as_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n all_o vice_n and_o wickedness_n and_o profaneness_n and_o impiety_n do_v sow_v the_o worst_a seed_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o dissolve_v and_o break_v in_o piece_n all_o society_n or_o at_o least_o for_o the_o so_o enfeeble_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v either_o be_v in_o a_o very_a low_a wretched_a condition_n among_o themselves_o if_o they_o have_v no_o enemy_n or_o if_o they_o have_v any_o become_v a_o easy_a prey_n to_o the_o next_o invader_n but_o i_o will_v not_o enter_v upon_o this_o argument_n because_o i_o think_v the_o matter_n need_v no_o further_a proof_n and_o i_o will_v spend_v the_o rest_n of_o my_o time_n in_o make_v some_o application_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v upon_o this_o point_n to_o the_o business_n of_o our_o present_a meeting_n on_o this_o day_n we_o be_v here_o meet_v together_o for_o the_o solemn_a humiliation_n of_o ourselves_o with_o fast_v and_o prayer_n before_o almighty_a god_n in_o order_n to_o the_o supplicate_a his_o divine_a majesty_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o nation_n and_o the_o implore_v his_o blessing_n and_o protection_n to_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n by_o continue_v those_o mercy_n to_o we_o we_o do_v enjoy_v by_o avert_v those_o judgement_n from_o we_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v and_o more_o particular_o by_o give_v a_o happy_a issue_n to_o that_o dangerous_a war_n in_o which_o his_o majesty_n with_o the_o kingdom_n be_v now_o engage_v and_o very_o great_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o you_o the_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n shall_v most_o serious_o and_o solemn_o join_v in_o this_o religious_a office_n since_o the_o fortune_n of_o the_o nation_n you_o represent_v do_v never_o more_o lie_v at_o stake_n than_o at_o this_o present_a you_o have_v hitherto_o be_v act_v and_o endeavour_v for_o the_o happiness_n and_o security_n of_o your_o

good_a of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o safety_n honour_n and_o welfare_n of_o their_o majesty_n and_o their_o kingdom_n and_o we_o hope_v all_o will_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o now_o on_o this_o
